In order to raise money for our Missions Trip we are taking after Christmas to Casa de Fe in Shell, Ecuador, I have started selling some of my cards. One of my friends has ordered 4 Mother's Day Cards. The first one I made is here. This is the 2nd card I created. She requested University of Florida colors (Orange and Navy Blue)...

We had a wonderful weekend. We went to Walt Disney World for our annual Food and Wine Festival trip with our friends. We had a great time on Saturday eating and drinking. My mom came down from Georgia to watch the kids for us. Then on Sunday, they drove down to Disney with the kids and we met up to go to the parks. It was fun having my mom and step father with us.

We got home late last night so I'm trying to get caught up. Orders placed over the weekend will ship out today.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We had a wet one. Although we did manage to have some fun anyway. On Saturday night, my husband and I went to a comedy club with another 4 couples and had a blast. Then on Sunday, I took Ryan to a birthday party for our friend Luke's (aka Pray For Luke) younger brother Abram. The boys had a lot of fun.

Luke's chomping on some chewy candy - they just broke open the Pinata! I can't get over how well Luke is doing! He's such a strong fighter!! The party was a soccer theme and they had a coach come and run some soccer drills. They had a blast!

So we only have 6 1/2 weeks of school left! It's crazy how the time flies! Therefore, I decided it was time for me to get started on the teacher appreciation cards. With 5 teachers this year, I need to give myself some time. Plus I also need 4 coach/1 team mom, 2 Mother's Day, and birthday card for Scott all around the same time!

So what did you think of the Super Bowl? That power outage was crazy! What was your favorite ad?

Mine might have been the "Montana Stain" commercial from Tide. I loved the twist at the end! LOL

And I always love the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials. I love how they get "emotion" and love from horses. My daughter takes riding lessons and although horses can be trained for showing, they aren't actors so I love how they manage to get a video that is just perfect!!

I'm going on a Mission Trip to Ecuador with the family and other families the week after Christmas. As a stamper/cardmaker, I thought it would be nice to bring a ton of cards from all over the world to these kids. It would be fun to show them that people are thinking of them all over the world as well as a fun geography lesson. It does not have to be a hand-made card, but I'm sure my stamping/blogging friends probably have a few cards already on hand!! Find details about the card drive here...http://stampandcreateblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/card-drive-for-missions-trip.html

Well, it's December now so the countdown to Christmas begins!! I love this time of year, but it always seems to pass by so quickly. I've been working on finishing up my Christmas cards so I can get them in the mail and realized that I am a little behind! So I will have to get busy crafting in order to make a few more cards.

Before I get to today's post, I wanted to mention that High Hopes is still showing sneak peeks of the new stamps that will be released on Thursday. Make sure to check them out! Then come back tomorrow for the release!

Ok, today is time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge! I love getting to use some of my favorite Christmas/Winter stamps that maybe didn't get enough use over the Holidays. That's one of the best things about playing along with the ABC Christmas Challenges! Of course, the other is actually not having to rush to finish up massive amounts of cards in November/December!!

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day. Mine was extremely busy and nothing ended up going my way. But I did create a "scavenger hunt" for the kids to search for their little gift. They thought it was fun and had a great time following the clues I left around the house. I would have taken pictures except the house was too much of a mess and it would have been embarrassing!! LOL

Last week I was behind and didn't get my ABC Christmas Carddone in time for the challenge. But I have one for the mid-way post! There is still one more week to participate in this challenge.

C is for Charming (add a charm to your card).

Here is my card...

This is the adorable Heidi from Wee Stamps! I fell in love with her the first moment I saw her. Isn't she just the sweetest?!

Before I get started, we will have a Thanksgiving Sale at Stamp and Create starting Tonight at Midnight!! 15% off your total order using discount code thanksgiving (all one word/all lowercase).

The kids and I are enjoying our week off from school. I'm still working but trying to just do the basics. And yesterday I was able to get into my craft room for a little while to finish up a project I have been working on. You will see that tomorrow.

Today, after taking orders to the post office, the kids and I are meeting up with friends to see the Muppet Movie! Then I need to grab a few things at the grocery store for Thanksgiving and Ansley wants to bake cookies. Some time this week we need to pull out the Christmas decorations plus I need to make window treatments for our family room.

You need to copy or case a DT from one of the ABC Christmas Challenges for 2011. Basically, go through the challenges from 2011 and copy or case one of the DT cards. It doesn't have to be an exact duplicate - just make it obvious that you have copied a DT card.

For my card, I am Xerox'ing Heidi's from the W challenge...

Here's my card...

The lighting on my card is off, though! We used the same paper but the photos are totally different!
